Reading Journal

This is pretty much a monthly update of: I'm still reading the same books and working on the same writing projects.

However, I have stumbled upon some new motiviation and inspiration, both for my reading and my writing.  That 2012: Year of the Poem has been facing failure for months, but there's someone newish in my life who has me thinking more like a poet than I have been.  I haven't written any yet, but I'm working on rearranging my life to allow more time for that. That same person is also motivation for me to finish the Catechism...by the day after tomorrow....I have about 100 pages...

I've developed a habit of having conversations via text.  I know it sounds impersonal and impractical, but....while waiting for the next one, I read a few paragraphs.  This works for me because I have a hard time focusing on just what I'm reading for extended periods of time.  So I compose a textual response, send it, and read until I get a response.  Then I come to the nearest stopping point (usually the end of a paragraph or section) and respond. 

It's no different than when I would read my homework between commercials on tv.
